Missions

Our Mission

The Space Systems division designs small satellites—specifically CubeSats—to provide students with educational opportunities in aerospace and systems design, assembly integration and testing (AIT), mission planning, and leadership. Members gain in-depth experience working on satellite missions in a way otherwise inaccessible to undergraduate students.

We are passionate about developing low-cost, miniaturized systems to address problems that have yet to be solved. Many of our open-source designs can be used for other amateur satellites and student satellite design teams. We are a fully student-run, student-funded satellite design team based out of Toronto, Canada since 2014.
